Problem 1: How does the state-in-society approach account for the variation of democratization in Japan? Please suggest on the basis of Haddad, M.A., 2010. The state-in-society approach to the study of democratization with examples from Japan. Democratization, 17(5), pp.997-1023.
My two hypotheses are
- The Japanese people played a vital role in the democratization of Japan
- The civil society organizations contributed towards Japan's greater democratization along with the gradual changes in generations and social environment
Problem 2: How does the article answer these hypotheses?
Problem 3: What are the causal mechanisms (of the hypotheses) between the independent and dependent variables?
